Denis Law, the iconic former Manchester United striker and the only Scottish player to win the Ballon d’Or, has died at the age of 84, the club confirmed on Friday.

At Manchester United Law scored 236 goals in 393 games; third behind his team-mate Sir Bobby Charlton and Wayne Rooney on the all-time scoring list, and set club records for the most goals in the FA Cup (34 goals), which still stands, and in Europe with 28 goals in 33 games.

Manchester United legend Denis Law has died, his family confirmed in a statement on Friday. He was 84. Law is widely regarded as one of the greatest figures in the club's history, remembered for his part in an infamous "United Trinity" partnership with Sir Bobby Charlton and George Best, with the trio immortalised in a statue outside Old Trafford.

City’s recent struggles have meant that Erling Haaland has not enjoyed the same prolific level of goalscoring that he has in previous seasons, though the Norwegian, who has just signed a bumper new 9.5-year contract to commit his future to the club, is still second in the league’s top scorer chart with 16 goals, just two behind Mohamed Salah.

Erling Haaland has signed a massive 10-year contract with Manchester City to keep him at the club until 2034. The Norwegian striker, whose previous contract was set to run until 2027, has been scoring at a phenomenal rate since joining City two-and-a-half years ago, amassing 111 goals across 126 appearances.
